Then stop and say, "Let's go again! This time count 1 and 2". As you snake around the
classroom, everyone shouts, "1, 2, 1, 2, ..." together in time.
Now comes the fun part introducing the adverbs. As the train is moving around the
classroom, shout out the following commands and have everyone follow what you do:
Keep moving around the class and changing the instructions. It is great fun and an exciting
way to begin the lesson.
Get everyone to stand up and find a bit of space in the room. Teacher stands at the front of
the classroom with everyone facing you. You are going to shout out the verbs from the song
and act out the verbs, with everyone following you (doing the actions on the spot):
Each time you shout out the verb, students should chorus the verb and do the action with
you, for example:
Teacher: "run"
Students: "run" (everyone starts running on the spot)
Round 1: the teacher does each activity with the students (until everyone can
understand the verbs)
Round 2: this time the teacher shouts out each action but only the students do the
actions (and chorus the verbs). Teacher watches and helps out of necessary.
Round 3: this time the teacher does the actions again and introduces the adverbs
from the song everyone must chorus each verbs + adverb and copy the teacher
(e.g. "run quickly", "pat our heads softly", "jump high", etc.)
Round 4: finally, the teacher shouts out the verbs + adverbs from the song without
doing the actions and the students chorus and do the actions. Teacher watches and
helps out if necessary.
Lyrics for "Let's have some fun!" Gestures and activities for "Let's have some fun!"
Chorus: The gestures for this songs are straight forward - simply
What shall we do? have everyone do the actions as they sing them. The 3rd
Let's have some fun! and 4th verses are faster versions of the 1st and 2nd
verses (the song tempo speeds up).
Verse 1:
Let's run, run quickly (quickly, quickly)
Let's walk, walk slowly (slowly, slowly)
Let's jump, jump high (high, high)
Let's crouch down low (low, low)
Chorus
Verse 2:
Let's stomp, stomp loudly (loudly, loudly)
Let's tip-toe quietly (quietly, quietly)
Let's pat our heads (softly, softly)
Let's clap, clap hard! (hard, hard)
Chorus
Verse 3:
Let's run, run quickly (quickly, quickly)
Let's walk, walk slowly (slowly, slowly)
Let's jump, jump high (high, high)
Let's crouch down low (low, low)
Chorus
Verse 4:
Let's stomp, stomp loudly (loudly, loudly)
Let's tip-toe quietly (quietly, quietly)
Let's pat our heads (softly, softly)
Let's clap, clap hard! (hard, hard)
Start by modeling the game: pull out one slip of paper from the verbs box and another from
the adverbs box. Then mime the action and everyone has to guess what the two words are.
The combinations can be quite strange but this makes it even more fun.
Split the class into 2 teams. Each time a student mimes the verbs + adverbs students can
shout out the answer with the first correct one winning a point for their team. The winning
student can then do the next charade. For younger students who have trouble reading, help
by whispering in their ear.
